ABOUT US:

The 16thcentury Goa saw the reign of Portuguese and faced their terror intending to spread of Christianity. Goans witnessed the forceful acts of conversion, temple demolitions, breaking of idols of temple deities looting temple wealth and setting on fire the temple buildings. It is during this period our pious ancestors put themselves to risk of life. Leaving behind their homes, property, wealth, agricultural land and even their family and the near and dear ones escaped into the moonless nights across the border with the family deities and their symbols.
